Most scales don't do side to side splits. CAT scales in particular are usually designed with barricades to keep the truck centered on the scale.

I've had good luck with closed truck scales on the highway - they usually leave the scale on when they're closed and many have a display you can see from the driver's seat.

Usually you can pull through and get a total weight for each axle, then pull around and do it again with only one side on the scale platform. Subtract this side from the total axle weight to get what's on the other side.

You might also check with local household moving companies, or even the county dump. And ask the local DMV office where they send people who need to get their vehicle weight for the title.
